My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A beagle on wheels! The smile on Margot's face would never reveal the horrors that got her to where she is today. Margot was surrendered to the shelter with no use of her rear end after she had been dragging herself around for FOUR MONTHS! She had the sores and rashes to prove it. While we will never know what happened to her, we know that she has a will to thrive and live her very best life! She has adapted well to her wheelchair and loves her evening walks, where she is quite the neighborhood celebrity :) Recently she went on a 5-mile walk, so she has great stamina and just wants to be included.

Margot loves meeting new people and dogs of all sizes. She LOVES to play! And she loves being pet, picked up, held, any attention.

Margot does need to have her bladder expressed 3-4 times per day as she does not seem to have the ability to urinate on her own readily. But she doesn't mind at all! At home, indoors, she does not stay in her wheelchair and happily scoots around the house to wherever the action is. She easily slides down off the sofa and can slide down stairs without a problem, she just can't go up stairs. But since she is only 18-lbs it is easy to carry her up anywhere she needs to go. Margot's wheelchair and drag bag (for scooting around outside without the chair) will go with her to her adopting family.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an application. We do allow out of state adoptions and any transport costs are at the expense of the adopter. If you have further questions about this dog, please email us at ccradopt@gmail.com and someone will be in touch as soon as possible. Please note we are unable to hold dogs for adopters as this ties up valuable foster homes.

Please understand that we are an all volunteer group and we have jobs outside of this organization. We do our best to provide quick responses but occasionally they are a little slower. If you do not receive a response in 48 hours, please resend to make sure it's received.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We allow both in state and out of state adoptions.
Our adoption fee is $250. Out of state adopters are responsible for any transport costs.
All of our dogs have been spayed/neutered, given age appropriate vaccinations, microchiped, as well as screened and started on any treatments they may need. They are also started on flea and heartworm prevention. The adoptive owners will be responsible for continued medications that the dog may need as well as any additional vaccinations, both yearly and booster, for the adopted dog.

The first step to adoption is an application which can be filled out at http://carolinacoonhoundrescue.com/Adoption_Application.php.

This application must be filled out prior to setting up any meetings or overnight visits. Once the decision is made to adopt we will need payment of the adoption fee and a signed contract. If the dog is adopted out of state, payment of the adoption fee is due once transport is arranged but before the dog leaves Charleston SC.

More about this rescue

Carolina Coonhound Rescue was started in June of 2010. It was started to help hounds in South and North Carolina get a second chance at a family life. Many hounds in our area are used for hunting purposes only and are far to easily thrown away by hunters who no longer need them...that's where we come in. We take hounds from shelters who are no longer wanted, get them healthy, and find new homes for them.

We are an all volunteer based rescue. We don't have a shelter facility and rely on foster homes to save these dogs and to give them a place to stay until they can be placed into forever homes. We work hard to save as many hounds as we can from shelters. We are the only Coonhound Specific rescue in South Carolina.
